Loss ON SCRUB STOCK.


Why 1t Pays to Keep None But Well-BreA
Farm Animals.
We have been to the pains of collect
ing some reliable bottom facts from OBJ.
servation and experience, and here pre-.
sent them in as plain way as we know
how.
Common cattle, three and half
years old, average l, 400 pounds, and at
current rates for such beef -four cents)
sell for $56. Grade cattle about halt
blood at three years old. average 1000
pounds, and such beef at current rates
Give cents) make them sell at $50.
Here it is seen that at half year less
feeding and handling. the grades are
worth $24 per head more than the com.
mon. Now let US apply these facts to
the situation in Indiana and see how
much the farmers of the State are use.
lessly taxing themselves by keeping
common cattle, which costs as much
per head to keep as grades. There are
in Indiana, on low estimate, 1885,
148 cattle Of all kinds. About 33f per
cent. of these, not over, are pure bred
and grades This would leave 904, 099
common cattle. About one-fourth Of
these are young things. and that would
leave about 67S,O00 mature animals.
OF course large part of these are COWS,
but they are producing common calves
to 60 into the vortex of useless squander-
ing. and should, therefore, be included in
the estimate of waste. These facts
show the following results: SS9,0S7
pure and grades, worth, for beef, $27,.
122, 1850; 67S,000 common cattle, worth,
for beef, sS7,972,0O0.
At the same price per head for grades,
the common cattle would be worth
S54,24O,O0o. Loss per year on common
cattle, $16, 26S,0OO. This loss repre-.
sents the taxes which the growers Of
common cattle annually infllct on
themselves directly, and indirectly the
burden is felt by all, for it detracts so
much from the wealth and property Of
the State.
But suppose, to make it look better,
we subtract the cows from the common,
and that would leave about 100000
common beeves going on the market
annually. If grades, they would sell
for $18. 400. 900, but as common cattle,
only $l2. SSS.O00. Actual loss, IS, $780,
900.
This is not exceptional as to Indiana,
for this State has about as high per
cent. of pure-bred and grades to its
total cattle as any other. But we use
the facts as an easy illustration to show
the great loss everywhere in the failure
to grade up the ruIIluun cattle by
crossing them with pure breeds

shops close, the shoemaker leaves his

the printer leaves his case, furnaces
shut down for the day, foundries stop
work, and the men fish. 1t does not
matter if they do not get the ghost Of
a nibble; they are carrying out the un-
written law and keeping up with the
superstitious procession. Another SUI
perstition connected with Ascension
Day in Cumberland County is that any
woman who wears a dress made on
that day will be struck by lightning
while wearing it. Nobody can explain
the origin Of this. A lady residing in
Mechanicsburg. who was anxious to
have her drcssmaker hurry up with
some work she was doing, was aston
ished to hear her say one evening:
"Of course you won't want me to
work tomorrow"
"Why, Of course l SHALL" said the
lady; "why not?"
"Why, tomorrow is Ascension-Day,
and if you wear dress made on that
day you will get struck by lightning
The lady laughed at the foolish idea
and the dressmaker worked Ascension
Day. OF course You expect me to say
that one day when the lady was wear

and lightning struck her. Well, l
